The Rally Trophy: Little Christmas Cup- Alexander Ernhart is the champion.Finished

[Harsk100]

Welcome to The Rally Trophy, the 2nd Edition of Little Xmas Cup. This is the second edition of Little Xmas Cup after Jocke had started his first Edition of Little Xmas Cup with BMW Z8's and Suzuki Cappuccino's.

My idea of doing a rally championship was when I was competing a rallycross championship in GT6 and after I have seen several videos of rally championship.
In March 2014, the World Rally Championship was created which lasted less than a month, because it failed as it wasn't set in stone.
However, in 2015, with the GTP Endurance Series being successfull, I already was planning to revive my rally championship project.
In July 2015, I got my PS3 and I have started to develop my rally championship.

Therefore, after sharing my rally idea with @IfAndOr and with some guys, then we have decided that this Christmas Cup would be about rally.

By the way, this is a pre-season of Global Rally Championship, which the Season 1 will start in 18 January 2016.

So, until then, I hope that you are having a good time. So, the HRSC Series Promotors and I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Spoiler: 2.1- Foreword

2.1.1- The Cup will consist of 3 Races and 3 Time Trials, in Asphalt, Snow and Gravel.

2.1.2- The Penultimate Race will be worthing double points and the Final Race will be worthing Triple Points.

2.3.2- To be classified into a Time Trial Event, all drivers must complete the required laps in a Time Trial Event.

2.3.3- Because GT6 records only the fastest lap on Time Trial mode, then, the lap times will be added to the total lap time.

2.3.4- All the drivers must send all lap times after they have finished the Time Trial Events on the following form.

For example, in Toscana:
Name of the Driver: Harsk
Car: Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak '98
Times: Lap 1- 1'00.000
Lap 2- 1'00.000
Lap 3- 1'00.000
Lap 4- 1'00.000
Lap 5- 1'00.000

2.3.5- After that, the Event Organizer will calculate the lap times to the Total Time of a Time Trial Event. For example, if I would do 5 laps of 1 minute, then the total time would be 5 minutes.

2.3.6- The Time Trial Event will last 1 week. This will give time to the players to set their fastest lap times.

2.3.7- All participants must save the replay after they have finished their lap times on Time Trial.

2.3.8- The Time Trial Events must be done Online, but they can be done in a Normal or a Club Lobby.

Spoiler: 3- Point System

3.3- The Points of Power Stage are applied only in the final Lap, as it follows:

3.4- If you have completed a halfway of stage, then the points will be attributed on the Top-6 Leg from the 2014 European Rally Championship as it follows:

3.5- These points from the 2015 Rally Trophy do not carry over to the 2016 Global Rally Championship, as it is a Pre-Season of GRC.

3.6- Gaining a position compared to the Leg 1 to the final classification will give you 3 extra points.

Spoiler: 4- Championship for Drivers

4.1- In the end, a driver is crowned "2015 The Rally Trophy [OVERALL/CLASS] Champion".

4.2- If there are 2 or more drivers with the same number of points, the champion will be determined by the following criteria:

[Harsk100]

Attention participants!

Although that the Saturday has more votes, there are some people who are busy with another commitents such as school responsibilities and competing in another series. And the fact of the Rally Trophy during only 1 day would be hard, because some people might not be able to compete.

Therefore, to prevent this issue, the Rally Trophy is planned to last during the 2nd week of December, meaning, the Rally Trophy would start at December 14th and it would finish at December 20th. The purpose of the "1 rally week" method is to allow all participants to participate in a rally event without having to miss their responsibilities to attend a "one-day round".

Remember, there is no number limit of sign-ups. If there are more than 16 signed up drivers, we'll proceed with the creation of 2 or more lobbies.

What do you think?

 

[RoadRunner36]

If it's on weekdays, then I can only go between December 19 through January 1

 

[Harsk100]

If it's on weekdays, then I can only go between December 19 through January 1

Okay then. Then, would you pick the December 19th? Or then the December 20th to participate in a event? You can participate the First 3 rounds in 19th, while you could participate the final 3 rounds in December 20th. You do not have to participate in all events.

 

[RoadRunner36]

Most likely start on 19th, Subaru has been itching to race

 

[Harsk100]

That's cool. 👍

If you got friends or family who play Playstation 3 with you, please tell them to join my rally championship. I will be glad to see them on track. 👍

Yes, there is a chance. 👍

 

[IfAndOr]

I'm never sure what I'm doing around the Christmas period Harsk so that's why I've not put my name down. But you can certainly pencil me in as a possible entrant.
When you've nailed down the times and dates I might be able to say yes or no - or at least make it to one of the events.

If I can make it, to go with Eran's historic Alpine is any chance of using a Lancia Stratos - the premium one with the lights added? It's currently set to 450pp but can be lowered if required.

IfAndOr, the Event will be going between 14-20 December, it starts at December 13th at 23:59 (Depending of your timezone) and it ends at December 21st at 00:01 (Depending of your timezone). Pick a day and a hour which you are available to do the Time Trial rallies and then join the lobby so you can do your stints.

You can enter your 450PP Lancia Stratos. I'll consider you as a reserve/maybe. 👍

 

[RoadRunner36]

Oh no... Feeling nervous about joining this series...

I was just playing with my Miata on GT6 on a touge course online, when I started to smell burning electronics...

Scared to turn the PS3 back on again, currently out back cooling off. I have no idea what's happening inside that plastic box, but it surely can't be good.
Chances are I may have to drop out, and even have to stop playing Gran Turismo until GTSport launches on the PS4.

Well, now I have an excuse to get a Playstation 4!

Oh no! That's terrible!

Well, are you sure that do you have to pull out from the rally event? I was looking forward to see you on track. The Rally Event is in 2 weeks!

Anyways, regarding to these first 3 races, the First 3 races will be in December 15th. and they will be a non-Point Events. The Valid Points Events are the Time Trial Races.

I also may increase the quantity of Time Trial races from 3 to 6, so the Time Trial Little Championship won't be too short. 👍

The WRC2.0T Cars are equal in Snow. The following result is:

I just need to correct the Gravel Specs and then, it is finished. 👍

What do you guys think?
